Driving down
From the Highland Line We'd done some gigs On the Clyde of the Tyne They flew us in From a Hamburg strip The taste of Dusseldorf Still on our lips And on the bus There's a friend of mine We go way back To the scene of the crime Sit up front And share a cigarette And try to remember What we tried to forget He said, "do you remember" He said, "do you recall" I said, "Yeah I remember Oh I remember it all" (1) Everytime the cold wind blows Everytime I hear the sound Late night trains Shuntin' down by the river I remember Windy Town We've come so far And we moved so fast Makin' haste See it all grow past Round the world And around again Up and down On that gravy train (2) Everytime the cold wind blows Everytime I hear the sound East coast crosswinds On the cold wet stone I remember Windy Town I've seen it all before The freezing corners And the empty streets The burning passion And the cold wet feet Three tricky miles home every night Dodging from the shadows Underneath the overlights Nocard for kissin' And nowhere to go 'Cept inside each other And I love you so I held your face As you shivered in the rain Girl, I'll love you again Oh everytime, yeah everytime [Repeat (1)] [Repeat (2)] There it goes, there it goes Windy Town |

Sometimes I walk away
When all I really wanna do Is love and hold you right There is just one thing I can say It's all right, can't you see The downtown lights In love we're all the same We're walking down an empty street And with nobody callin' your name Empty streets, empty nights The downtown lights (1) How do I know you feel it How do I know you feel it How do I know you feel it How do I know it's true Can't you see Nobody loves you this way It's all right Tonight and every night Let's go walking down the city streets Let's walk in the cool evening light Wrong or right, the endless sight The downtown lights It will be all right It will be all right The downtown lights Yeah, yeah, yeah [Repeat (1)] Yeah, yeah, yeah Downtown lights The neons and the cigarettes The rented rooms and rented cars The crowded streets, the empty bars Chimneytops, trumpets The golden lights, the loving prayers Colored shoes, the empty trains I'm tired of cryin' on the stairs Downtown lights It'll be all right It'll be all right |

She... She screams in silence A sullen riot penetrating through her mind We... Wait for a sign To smash the silence with the brick of self-control Are you locked up in a world Thats been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you She... She's figured out All her doubts were someone else's point of view We... Walking up this time To smash the silence with the brick of self-control Are you locked up in a world Thats been planned out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you EHHHHHH,AHHHHHHHHHH!!! Are you locked up in a world Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed I'm taking heed just for you |

Well the pressure's down the boss ain't here
He gone North he ain't around They say that vanity got the best of him But he sure left here after sundown By the way that's a cute hat And that smile so hard to resisit But what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? You know I once knew a woman who looked like you She wanted a whole man not just a half She used to call me sweet daddy when I was a child In order to deal in this game, got to make the Queen disapear It's done with a flick of the wrist What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? You know a woman like you should be at home That's where you belong Watching out for someone who loves you true Who would never do you wrong Just how much abuse will you be able to take Well there's no way to tell by that first kiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? You know you can make a name for yourself You can hear them tires squeal You can be known as the most beautiful woman Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal You know, news of you has come down the line Even before you came in the door They say in your father's house there's many mansions Each one of them got a fireproof floor Snap out of it baby people are jealous of you They smile in your face but behind your back they hiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this? Got to be an important person to be in here, honey Got to have done some evil deed Got to have your own harem when you come in the door Got to play your harp until your lips bleed They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scoundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you King There's only one step down from here, baby It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this |

Down below on Baker Street
Lay your head back On this field of dreams And close your eyes There's a few that find love On Sundays down by the sea And they wash clean like angels High above the waves so free I have no words to say to you I have no dream to take you to I have no ring for you to kiss Baby, all I have is this Pray for grace Keep the faith Walk on down the road Wait for me, look for love Are you fearless, reckless Homeless and all alone Can you make love, heal things Make my heart go wild again (1) I have no words to say to you I have no dream to take you to I have no ring for you to kiss Baby, all I have is this I have no way to hold you now I have no time to show you how I have no gold, nothing to risk Baby, all I have is this And she says It doesn't matter anymore There's a few that find love On Sundays down by the sea And they wash clean Like angels' wings High above the waves so free [Repeat (1)] All I have is on my sleeve All I want is your sweet love, baby All I saw was open space Walk down the road Fearless, fearless All I have is this |

Lady luck here I am on time
Propping up the bar with a glass of wine Sunday night and I'm all spruced up and fine But I ain't going nowhere Lady Luck why don't you pull up a chair And bring you shamrock wisdom darling over here Your Gaelic humor and your pious smile All the lads will be laughing tonight Now you may say it's a funny old world You may say that the game ain't fair Is there a plot or do you improvise Or maybe you don't even care Lady luck in the nick of time Why are some folks lucky while the rest are trying Your demon plan is still a mystery Laced with a touch of inconsistency So why don't you give us all a break Make us all rich healthy and fine Five month holidays a 4-hour week And a horse that wins all the time Lady Luck hear the mandolins Kinda makes you wonder how it might have been Now I'll go back to the fun place I've got Or back on the streets again Lady Luck yeah it's late I know Allow me to buy you one more for the road Tell me something I've been longing to hear It's gonna get better next year 'Cause i've seen some rainy days My patience is all ripped and torn Now the sun comes shining through I've cried in my beer too long Lady Luck it sure is a funny old world Sure is a funny old world |

You gave me hope
When all around was lost And I could see no point in trying For I saw love passing me by You came into my life You came into my life I look around And what I had is gone Now I've finally found What I've been missing The road I travel is so clear Since you came into my life You came into my life (Chorus) And you're the star The shining light The morning dawn And when the sun Comes up so bright And the closer I get Yes it's true You're the star Above the storm I want to wrap you in my arms And keep you warm No I don't want to live without you No I've never found loving like you You gave me faith The kind I thought had gone Somewhere down the line I think I've lost it Now I've felt the changes in my heart Your faith in me is strong Your faith in me is strong (Chorus |

I remember when I was only seventeen
The bohemian poet and disciple of the streets Or was I just a little kid Searching for identity In '63 Heard it on the radio on a cold December night It came burning down the air waves like a Savior's shining light All the way from the U. S. A. Across the Atlantic far away The magic came The house began to rock with Cupid and his bow The Hootchie Cootchie Man's lonely harp began to blow Little did I know that Nothing in my life Would ever be the same Stayed up all night playing every forty-five Trying to sound like you Strummed my guitar in bed 'til my fingers bled Trying to play like you (Chorus) Thank you Sam, thank you Otis Thank you Muddy For the sounds you made Thank you Sam, thank you Otis Thank you Muddy For the times we shared And they carry on I saw Otis back in 1965 Tears in my eyes as he sun "These Arms Of Mine" But the angels needed a soul man For their celestial blues band And took him home Oh, what I'd give to see that red mohair suit And hear "Dock Of The Bay" Or Sam in his two-tone singing "Bring It On Back Home" What a show that would be (Chorus) If I sound sentimental It's because this blue-eyed soul boy's Got so much respect My gratitude to you Runs deep, proud and true I will never forget (Chorus-2) 2x Thank you Sam, thank you Otis Thank you Muddy For the sounds you made Thank you Sam, thank you Otis Thank you Muddy For the times you gave Thank you Sam, thank you Sam Thank you Otis,thank you Muddy You'll never, never fade away |
